Can't resolve big domain lists

[oldDuDe124]

Hi
I'm trying to resolve a wordlist containing roughly 2.2 million domains , i know some domains must be resolved and are valid but when I pass the list to dnsx it just doesn't seem to be resolving them and finishes the scan after 10 seconds.
I've tried using stdin input like:
cat list.txt | dnsx -silent
and also using -l option:
dnsx -l list.txt -silent
but no luck!
I also tried reducing the list to 1k lines and it worked. so I guess the size of the list is the main problem here.

Does anything happen when you use -stats during a run?

@oldDuDe124 do you see any error that you can share when you run with -v option

Same error occurs with tlsx as it does here, when giving it a file with IP ranges. At least 60,000+ IPs in total via a few subnets causes the process to get killed after around 10 seconds of running. Running with -v does not give any errors, but should be easy to replicate as you just need a few subnets in a file. For tlsx: tlsx -c 72 -v -l ip_ranges.txt -ro -san and dnsx: dnsx -t 72 -l ip_ranges.txt -ptr -resp-only May just be caused by too many IP ranges being expanded at once, I notice a huge spike in CPU usage before crashing.
